Territorial Youth Services announce huge support for expansion project
The Battlefords community stepped up in a big way Tuesday to show its support for Territorial Youth Services (TYS), and help cover costs for the program expansion to build a new facility.
Director Perry Neufeld said the non-profit has been successful in raising about $300,000 of the $475,000 goal to develop a new facility and expand its program. This time last year they had reached $100,000.
“This is incredible,” Neufeld said. “We’ve been dreaming of this for a long time…When you see people from the community say: ‘We would like to get involved,’ that is just so encouraging.”
